Unauthorized legal practice
There are many penalties for unauthorized legal practice in Canada. While many unauthorized lawyers and law firms may not be convicted of the charges, the Law Society of British Columbia can impose injunctions on their members. If the injunction is breached, the offender may be found guilty of contempt and be liable for hefty fines and/or imprisonment. The law society has the power to bring criminal charges against the unauthorized practitioner in provincial court and has the right to seek substantial fines and even probation orders.
